Called the Student Health Center because I feel so terrible.

Called the Student Health Center because I feel so terrible.  They put me on Macrobid on Friday.  I have felt so much worse since then.  I'm having fever and chills when I didn't before.  They said I could skip my morning dose of hell in pill form and that they would see me this afternoon.  I have never had an antibiotic make me feel so bad.

Dr. Kim is going to allow me to keep coming to class...

Dr. Kim is going to allow me to keep coming to class even though I dropped Linear Algebra today. I'm grateful.

I'm home from school.

I'm home from school.  Missed CS class because I couldn't drag myself out of bed in time.  Went to Linear Algebra because I don't dare miss that class.  Found out I made a 2/10 on the last quiz.  Went to the scholarship office for an update.  They let me drop it.  Got a stern warning that I wouldn't be able to do that again.  I wish I could say I felt relief or anything good, but I just don't right now.

I came home.  I didn't go to tutoring.  I am pretty sure I've been running a fever off and on since I've been awake.  Hot one minute, chills the next.  My antibiotic makes me nauseated and drowsy.  I'm taking a nap.  Maybe I will feel better physically, and better about life in general, when I wake up.  I sure hope so.

Emailed Dr. Kim to see if I could still come to class and take notes.  Maybe she'll let me.  I need to be as prepared as possible for the next go round with L.A., for I have been warned that there is no way out.  How's that for scary?

Hoping that between this book and this YouTube series...

Hoping that between this book and this YouTube series I will be able to pull my Linear Algebra grade out of the toilet. I ALMOST bought the "for Dummies" book because that's about how I feel right now, but the advert for this book said that it "didn't suck" and the people who left reviews seemed pretty happy with it. I'm excited to dig in.

I've only watched a couple of videos from the YouTube channel, but it's already clarified a lot. I can remember why I'm doing things a lot better when I know why I am doing them. Just throwing a bunch of symbols at me and expecting them to stick apparently does not work. 😕

(The YouTube channel is unrelated to the book, but one of the reviewers of the book said to watch these videos in their book review. THANK GOODNESS.)

My Saturday evening...

My Saturday evening. I have this Discrete CS homework due, plus I have to get a presentation together on Fuzzy Logic. I really wanted an earlier start, but I was busy napping / sweating out a fever earlier. Doing my best, though.

Off and on today I've been catching up on shows with Shadow. I see a shower in my near future, too. I hope y'all are enjoying your evening. I'm making the most I can of mine. ❤

It's been a long week. I've been super tired.

It's been a long week.  I've been super tired.  Went to the doctor today and I'm battling an infection.  Again.  Or still.  I don't even know at this point.  The doctor is also slightly concerned about my liver, so they took blood and hopefully everything comes back fine next week.  Hopefully 2-ish years of methotrexate didn't wreck it.  Other news on the health front:  I feel my skin and bones getting ready to flare up; I'm not sure if it's weather or stress or what, but it's coming.  Yay. /sarcasm

The highlight of my week was Thursday.  Dr. Trifas invited Kira to come to class with me, and she did.  Dr. Trifas liked her a lot.  She emailed me today and told me how beautiful and genuine and smart Kira is.  Of course, we already knew that, but I'm glad that others see it, too.  🙂  She is interested in helping her get ready to take the ACT so hopefully we can work on some of that soon, but with her school schedule it might not be super easy.

We'll work it out, though.

Anyway, after my Discrete class was over I had to go and take my Stats test, so Kira went over to the library at JSU and waited for me to be done.  When I got over there we checked out quite a few art books that she was interested in.  Then we took an elevator selfie because the ceiling is a mirror, so why not?  LOL  THEN we had lunch together at TMB, picked up a few art supplies at the bookstore, and then walked around some.  Kira said she had a really good day, and I did, too.  I think she is thinking more about college stuff, so that is making my day.  😃❤❤

Ok, well, maybe Linear Algebra isn't going so well...
